    Robot Mission Lab

    Give a robot its first instructions, then teach it to respond. Follow the sense → decide → act loop through short missions that become a working robot behaviour.

    Your mission: follow a route and stop at an obstacle.

    What learners discover

    • Read a sensor and control a motor
    • Turn a flowchart or code sequence into robot actions
    • Compare test runs and improve control; explore feedback at higher levels

    Smart Space Makers

    Turn an everyday problem into a responsive mini space. Use light, motion or a button as an input and make a light or indicator react. Choose a project to suit the group.

    Your mission: prototype a study light that responds to its surroundings.

    What learners discover

    • Map an everyday need to an input → action rule
    • Build and program a sensor-based prototype
    • Test different conditions and explain design choices

    AgriBot Academy

    Explore a farm through a robot’s eyes. Work with leaf images to see how a simple classifier learns, then discuss how a robot could use its prediction.

    Your mission: sort leaf images and investigate where an AI model gets confused.

    What learners discover

    • Label examples and train a small image classifier
    • Test unseen images and explain errors
    • Connect a prediction to a possible robot action

    Build for a Better Day

    A real problem. A box of possibilities. A team with a deadline. Learners choose an idea, build a prototype, test it and share the story behind their solution.

    Your mission: create a useful device for school or campus life.

    What learners discover

    • Define a user need and sketch a solution
    • Share roles, build and improve from test evidence
    • Demonstrate a prototype and explain the next improvement

    04 / Made for institutions

    We bring the lab to your campus.

    School, college or university — your institution books and pays AiRO directly. Learners get to focus on making.

    20%

    20% off institution-based training

    Compared with the equivalent training fee at the Coffee Bot training room. The discount applies to off-site training fees only; packages and venue availability are confirmed in your quote.

    Kits to learn with. An option to keep building.

    AiRO provides the training kits for use during the session and takes them back after class. If your institution wants its own sets, new kits can be purchased separately at their original prices.

    Beginner projects use breadboards and plug-together connections. AiRO prepares any connections that need soldering.

    Circuit Studio

    Curious? Try it right now.

    Light an LED, explore a 555 timer or code an Uno in Circuit Studio before building the real thing.

    Open Circuit Studio ↗

    Let’s make planning simple.

    Do learners need coding experience?

    Not for beginner missions. We can start with basic connections and code blocks, then move to text code as the group becomes ready.

    How do we choose a program?

    Tell us the learner level, group size, location, preferred date and goals. We will suggest a mission, duration and the space and equipment needed.

    Do students pay or take the kits home?

    Bookings and payments are between the institution and AiRO. Session kits remain with AiRO; institutions can separately purchase new kits at their original prices.

    Can this fit a STEM week or club activity?

    Yes. Combine a demonstration, project stations or a team challenge to suit your time and learners. We agree the final scope before the program.

    Your next mission

    Bring an idea. Leave with possibilities.

    Tell us about your learners. Let’s find the experience that makes them want to try again.
